In some ways programs are among the most complicated artefacts mankind ever trued to design, and personally I find it fascinating to see that reasoning about them is so much aided by simple, elegant devices such as predicate calculus and lattice theory. After more than 45 years in the field, I am still convinced that in computing, elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a quality that decides between success and failure; in this connection I gratefully quote from The Concise Oxford Dictionary a definition of “elegant”, viz. “ingeniously simple and effective”. Amen. EWD 1284

Þú húðlita bjargráð, þú innyflum útfyllta sin;

Af algleymisfögnuði langþráðum logar mitt gin
er ljúkast um enda þér titrandi varir, af gleði. Einar Ben

Mathematics is not philosophy; mathematics is real. Being a philosopher is a psychological disorder, similar to narcissistic personality disorder. Mark Hughes
Bush used to say about bin Laden that “he can run, but he can’t hide.” It appears that the opposite is true: his health is poor, so he can’t run, but he sure hides well, well enough that Bush can’t find him. Douglas Crockford
There once was a vampire named Mable,
whose periods were really quite stable.
And every full moon,
she’d get out a spoon
and drink herself under the table. #
